Maybe Far Away,

[Briar Rose 7457]

MAYBE FAR AWAY,
OR MAYBE REAL NEARBY,
HE MAY BE POURING HER COFFEE,
SHE MAY BE STRAIGHT'NING HIS TIE.

MAYBE IN A HOUSE
ALL HIDDEN BY A HILL,
SHE'S SITTING PLAYING PIANO,
HE'S SITTING PAYING A BILL.

BETCHA THEY'RE YOUNG,
BETCHA THEY'RE SMART,
BET THEY COLLECT THINGS
LIKE ASHTRAYS AND ART.

BETCHA THEY'RE GOOD,
WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE?
THEIR ONE MISTAKE WAS GIVING UP ME.

SO MAYBE NOW IT'S TIME,
AND MAYBE WHEN I WAKE,
THEY'LL BE THERE CALLING ME "BABY,"
MAYBE

BETCHA HE READS,
BETCHA SHE SEWS,
MAYBE SHE'S MADE ME A CLOSET OF CLOTHES.

MAYBE THEY'RE STRICT,
AS STRAIGHT AS A LINE,
DON'T REALLY CARE AS LONG AS THEY'RE MINE.

SO MAYBE NOW THIS PRAYER'S
THE LAST ONE OF ITS KIND:
WON'T YOU PLEASE COME GET YOUR "BABY"

Annie & Orphans:
MAYBE
